Finished my second Julii campaign and decided to play the Scipii again. I restarted once not realizing how aggressive the Julii AI is towards Carthage now in v1.5. They took Caralis and Palma while I was busy with Carthage and Lilybaem. This was unacceptable so I restarted and sent groups of 3 hastati with a general, if available, to both Palma and Caralis. Caralis was a close one but I was able to make the first attack with the Julii as reinforcements. Of course, I let the Julii take the brunt of the attacks. After most of the Julii had been routed, I mopped up the remaining enemy cavalry and militia scattered about. That setback actually made the game better though because I had to really use my turns wisely. I have to say the Julii are the most boring Roman faction, it's just too easy. The Scipii so far seem to be the most fun because there are so many different options available.
